I’ve been driving for nearly 40 years. For 19 of them I drove a used Toyota Tacoma. I’m now on my second used Tacoma I’ve been driving for 4 years. I fully intend to drive it another 15 years if possible. People that buy new cars are financial idiots. My wife and I combined make over $300k a year. She drives a 14 year-old Honda Pilot that we bought used. My teenage kids drive an 8 year-old Camry that we bought used.
Save your money, buy used, fly coach, and live within your means. It’s not rocket science.
